General Considerations Heat transfer to a surface occurs by condensation when the surface temperature is less than the saturation temperature of an adjoining vapor.
{"Image DocumentName": "General Considerations", "Image ImageDescription": "Heat transfer to a surface occurs by condensation when the surface temperature. is less than the saturation temperature of an adjoining vapor. Film Condensation. Entire surface is covered by the. condensate, which flows. continuously from the surface. and provides a resistance to heat. transfer between the vapor and the. surface. Thermal resistance is reduced through use of short vertical surfaces. and horizontal cylinders. Characteristic of clean, uncontaminated surfaces. Dropwise Condensation. Surface is covered by drops ranging from. a few micrometers to agglomerations visible. to the naked eye.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
